Nance supplied 21 points (8-13 FG, 5-6 3Pt), 13 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 31 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 133-126 overtime loss to the Spurs. The journeyman big didn't even get onto the court in either of the prior two games, but Nance was ready to step back into the frontcourt rotation due to Onyeka Okongwu (knee) being sidelined by a knee issue. Nance led the Hawks in rebounding on the night while playing a season high in minutes and producing his first double-double of 2024-25. Okongwu is expected to miss at least three more games, putting Nance firmly on the fantasy radar potentially through the end of the month.

Nance supplied 21 points (8-13 FG, 5-6 3Pt), 13 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 31 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 133-126 overtime loss to the Spurs. The journeyman big didn't even get onto the court in either of the prior two games, but Nance was ready to step back into the frontcourt rotation due to Onyeka Okongwu (knee) being sidelined by a knee issue. Nance led the Hawks in rebounding on the night while playing a season high in minutes and producing his first double-double of 2024-25. Okongwu is expected to miss at least three more games, putting Nance firmly on the fantasy radar potentially through the end of the month.
Nance will come off the bench Wednesday versus New York. Nance sliding to the second unit corresponds with Jalen Johnson (shoulder) returning to health for Atlanta. Nance is averaging 7.6 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 15.6 minutes across his last five contests off the bench.
Nance amassed 16 points (6-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals over 24 minutes during Sunday's 141-111 loss to the Nuggets. Prior to Sunday's matchup, the veteran big man hadn't seen the court since Nov. 17, though he stepped into the starting five in place of Jalen Johnson (shoulder) and played valuable minutes. Nance was efficient while delivering a solid performance, though it remains to be seen if he'll stick in the rotation when Johnson returns. In 10 regular-season appearances, Nance has averaged 8.7 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 0.9 steals across 16.5 minutes per contest.
Nance will start Sunday's game against the Nuggets, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports. Nance hasn't played since Nov. 17, but he'll slide into the starting lineup due to Jalen Johnson's (shoulder) absence. In his only start this season (Nov. 1 against the Kings), Nance posted two points and three rebounds in eight minutes.
Nance contributed 19 points (7-10 FG, 5-6 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 27 minutes during Tuesday's 117-116 win over the Celtics. Nance tallied a season-high 19 points in the win, demonstrating what he can do when afforded significant playing time. While this was certainly an encouraging performance, it should be noted that he had played fewer than 15 minutes in six of the previous seven games. He is someone to monitor should he step into a consistent role but for now, this is possibly an outlier.
Nance supplied 14 points (6-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt), six rebounds and one steal across 25 minutes during Sunday's 126-111 victory over the Pelicans. Despite moving back to the bench, Nance supplied a versatile fantasy line in limited action. However, with Onyeka Okongwu (toe/rest) expected back Monday, Nance isn't guaranteed to see much action against the Celtics.
Nance won't start Sunday's game against the Pelicans, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports. With Dyson Daniels back in action, Nance will shift to his usual reserve role. In two appearances off the bench this season, Nance has averaged 8.5 points, 2.0 assists, 1.5 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 15.0 minutes, but the majority of that production came in one game.
Nance will start Friday's game against the Kings, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports. Nance will make his first start of the season and will be joined by Trae Young, Zaccharie Risacher, Jalen Johnson and Clint Capela. Nance played 23 minutes against the Wizards on Monday, posting 15 points (6-9 FG), three rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals.
Nance accumulated 15 points (6-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals over 23 minutes during Monday's 121-119 loss to the Wizards. Onyeka Okongwu (toe) didn't play, and the Hawks were shorthanded elsewhere as well. Nance has a history of being productive in category leagues when the minutes are there, and Monday night was no different. He wasn't in the rotation in the opening three games of the season, but he did make a case to the coaching staff that he'll be ready when his name is called.
